Aqui na Zolanda o Sinterklaas é muuuito celebrado. É um mês inteiro em função do "véio" do saco. E quarta foi a celebração lá na TU. Eu, como boa Zolandesa de Delft, sou a organizadora do evento. Sim, iniciativa minha celebrar o evento no doutorado. E aí que esse ano eu recebi um poema enoooorme e super legal. Finalmente um poema que contou toda a minha saga esse ano ;-)
E pra quem tiver curiosidade, aqui vai!! É em inglês, natuurlijk. Mas já é muito bom que não é em Zolandês.
Eu posso reclamar dos Zolandeses, mas tá aí uma tradição que eu gosto. Os poemas!
Dear Giselle plus one,
After a long year in sunny Spain,
I’m back because you have something to explain
Last year I had to rhyme for you alone
But in the meantime something has grown
So, I have to write this poem for two
That’s different to what I’m used to
But are you ready for this big event?
Let’s evaluate how last year went
After you said ‘yes’ to your big man
You went on a honeymoon for some more sun tan
Life in Amsterdam is what you enjoy
Sailing through the canals with your boat-toy
Matthijs will navigate and keep you on the tracks
Thus the only thing you do is talk and relax
After some hours it’s time to jump in the Amstel river
It really amazed me that you didn’t shiver
Now, with the expected family extension
You are looking for a new mansion
Matthijs looks at Funda, really every day
But it seldom happens that you say ‘yeay!’
Ground floor, three rooms and of course a rooftop
It should all be included before you stop
Don’t stay picky all the time
You might not get a grachtenpand for a nickel-and-dime
The old house is now for sale
Let’s see how family planning works with economies-of-scale
Your research is progressing very well
It’s route choice and information about which you like to tell
You had a nice GPS experiment
And wanted to present, how everything went
So you wrote a paper for IATBR
And as I show later, you turn out to be a superstar
After you got accepted you booked a flight
And believed everything would be alright
You sent your passport to Vienna for a Visa
“Please, let me go to Toronto”, asked Gisa
But on the date of you flight
Your passport had not yet arrived
That was really, really sad
How could this get so bad
One day later the mailman had a nice surprise
I didn’t take long before you were in international skies
Your presentation went as a piece of masters’
Directly afterwards you celebrated it in Jack Asters
“A double shot is fine for me”
“Oh, what the hack, let’s make it three”
You finished the night at the rooftop bar
Is that the place where you became a superstar?
No, for that story you to wait little time
In the meantime you can take a vodka lime
After you took a shower at the Niagara fall
You went to the lovely city of Montreal
On a road trip with three guys
The moment came where you had to improvise
You brought them to the karaoke
That place was not okey-dokey
Giselle the superstar was then born
When your voice was like a horn
Your “Girls just wanna have fun”
Made the audience out-run
The high tones were just over the top
And caused all glasses to pop
The Sint advises not to start a career with your voice
It’s better to stick to route choice
There is one thing that I need to declare
Great Brazilian Piets are very rare
But the T&P celebration is safe in your hands
It’s so much appreciated as the Sint understands
Now unwrap your present very fast
And let’s see if this music will always last
But not before you finish this last stage
And tell us finally: What is your age? ;-)
Groeten,
De Sint
Beijos,
Gisa
